10. LB/RB Myles Jack, UCLA

To start the season, true freshman linebacker Myles Jack was just a linebacker.

He was having an excellent first year on the UCLA defense, but didn't truly burst onto the scene until the Bruins tried him out at running back.

Simply out of necessity, UCLA tried Jack out in its banged up backfield in a close game on the road against Arizona. Jack, who played running back in high school, exploded for 120 yards and a touchdown on just six carries.

He finished the year with 267 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, second only to quarterback Brett Hundley's 11 scores.

He also tallied 75 tackles, including seven for a loss and a sack. To that he added two interceptions, 11 pass breakups, a hurry, two fumble recoveries and a blocked kick.

The Bellevue, Wash., native was named the Pac-12 offensive and defensive freshman of the year. He was also named second-team All-Pac-12 at linebacker.

8. RB Marion Grice, Arizona State

Marion Grice didn't even make the All-Pac-12 first team, but that doesn't detract from his fantastic season.

The senior led the Pac-12 in all-purpose yardage, averaging 176.5 yards per game.

His individual season, as well as the Sun Devils' season as a whole, would've been better if he hadn't missed time late in the year with an injury.

Even though he played just 11 games, he still amassed nearly 1,000 yards rushing, 507 yards on kick returns and just shy of 500 receiving yards. He also led the league, averaging 10.9 points per contest with 20 touchdowns on the year.

At 6', 207 pounds, Grice will be an intriguing NFL draft prospect with his versatility.

7. WR Brandin Cooks, Oregon State

He led the nation with an average of 133.1 receiving yards per game. In 13 games, he totaled 1,730 receiving yards and 128 receptions—both Pac-12 records, per his OSU bio. He took 16 of those catches for touchdowns.

His season would've been even better if the Beavers offense hadn't faltered late in the year.

The junior from Stockton, Calif., will now head to the pros after being named first-team All-Pac-12 and a consensus All-American.

6. QB Marcus Mariota, Oregon

If it wasn't for an MCL injury, Marcus Mariota might have had Oregon playing for a national title—and he might have been the Heisman Trophy winner.

He was running away with the award early in the season, making opposing defenses look like fools with his lethal blend of running and throwing ability.

However, the redshirt sophomore suffered an MCL sprain right in the thick of Oregon's schedule in a win over UCLA. As a result, he wasn't the same for the remainder of the season as the Ducks fell to Stanford and Arizona down the stretch.

Still, Mariota finished third in the Pac-12 in total offense, accounting for 336.9 yards per game, enough to earn him first-team All-Pac-12 honors.

He'll be back next season with those Heisman and national title hopes back on the table.

4. LB Anthony Barr, UCLA

One of the best linebackers in college football, Anthony Barr will ride an outstanding senior season to a likely top 10, and perhaps even top five, pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

Just in his second year at linebacker after moving from a hybrid tight end/fullback role, Barr tallied 65 tackles, including 20 for a loss (second in the league) and 10 sacks (third in the league).

He led the conference with six forced fumbles and recovered four on the season.

Not surprisingly, he was named first-team All-Pac-12, but that was just the start of a ridiculous list of accolades for the San Pedro, Calif., native.

Barr won the Lott Impact Award and was a finalist for three other major honors: the Bednarik, Butkus and Lombardi awards. With that, Barr was a consensus All-American, named to nine All-American first teams.
